Review of Love Jones (1997) by Chris G — 17 Jan 2010

This movie not only had good casting, but it also brought attention to a black culture phenomenon some call salm-poetry, which has been going on in cities like chicago and ny for years;meanwhile, after this movie caught on, in my opinion in just about every america city with significant African American population started opening up poetry spots left and right.

Love jones is a very simple story done with great hip dialouge, which only can be provide by a black screenwriter and a black cast. That said, this is must have if you looking for a charming well done black love story.

Also the cafe shop, snobb, sificated angle may not appeal to some people.
